I checked out fourteen Baby-Sitters Club and Baby-Sitters little Sister books at the library today. Nine of them (including all the Little Sister books) have not been snarked in bsc_snark yet. Guess what I'll be doing over the next two weeks.

Oh, and tutoring went well. I have another client I'm meeting with tomorrow. Woot!

I now have another geeky shirt ( Read more... )

Three-day novel idea progress: Almost zilch. All I have is a character who happens to be an ABBA fan. Very helpful. What does she do? What's she like? Why does she like ABBA so much?

My last wisdom tooth has started to come in. I've already had two of them removed when they came in on two separate occasions, and I had only three to start with. My dentist told me that this wisdom tooth would come in through the side, and sure enough it is.

Well, fuck. Because I can really afford to get this taken care of right now, right?

Chris Baty's birthday is coming up. I didn't know this, but the OLL staff does, and they're planning a surprise: a huge birthday card for him with signatures from Wrimos. You can sign it! Just make sure to do it by the 12th so they can compile all the signatures in time.

Prop 8 just got overturned. YES.

44 more states to go.
